That's a cool car, metro or not metro !
Imagine the fun in blwoing people away, I heard of one brought up to Elise 190 spec, I.e the VVC engine ina similar state of tune to the Elise tuned versions.
All that and the car weighs not much.

Please tell me you're taking the piss and being sarcastic.
The Rover 100 IS a Metro, When Rover took over from Austin they gave the Metro a facelift and called it the Rover 100. Its Officaly the most unsafe car on the road, It was pulled by Rover because of this, after all, its a 24 year old design that even back then was poor.
And before you take a ride in one again, Check out THIS.
